program nilam

i have just came back from my former primary school (also puteri's) *phew*

what did i do there, you asked? since i am the PTA's vice president, i have been invited to join them this morning during the school's weekly assembly, with the president; followed by this launching ceremony of "Program NILAM 2008" for the school. i am sure those you malaysian mothers with school-going kids know about this programme. if you dunno what is it all about, then i dunno what to say ;)

so basically its the country's level programme to encourage school children to read. just imagine people, according to the national library's survey, the ratio of locals who read books to-date are two (2) pieces only! thats certainly not something good to be heard :(

the programme at the school has been launched by en mohd suhaimi b. hj. zahir, ppt, pegawai teknologi pendidikan, pkg talang. read more about this programme here.

about my position as the PTA's vice president, i have been selected for the same position again for the second time (on last friday, for the financial year 2008/09). for those who dunno, previously it was for the year 2007--09.

o yes... some of you may wonder, since my former primary school sk datin khadijah is an all-girls school, why on earth there are some boys there in the pic right. well they are some students from the special kids classes. i was so glad to know that the school has about more than 10 classes now compared to two only (sometimes 1.5) during my time ;) they are so special, yet that i cried every time i saw them. in fact i think the teachers who teach them are indeed truly amazing too.

where else i will be at my former secondary school this afternoon for their PTA AGM :)
